Who're my parents?

Spike sat outside the Library, behind a tree, and waietd for everypony to leave, so he could sneak inside. He watched as Applejack, Pinkie Pie, FLuttershy and Rainbow Dash all left, and as Twilight waved to them. 'Huh, no Rarity...' Spike thought to himself. Then he realized that Applejack had, in fact, gone over. 'She probably thinks that she made me run away... well, i guess she kinda did, but it's not really her fault.' Spiek waited until they were all out of sight, before he ran around the Library. He was about to climb up the wall and sneak into his bed, when somepony grabbed him. "AH!" He flipped around and saw a very angry Twilight holding him. "Oh, h-hey, Twilight! Lovely weather tonight, huh?"

"Where were you?!" she screamed at him. He was about to answer, but she cut him off. "What were you doing?!" He was about to answer that, when she cut him off... again. "Why didn't you come back?!" He covered her mouth with his hand, so he could speak. "Jeez Twilight, if you want to get an answer, maybe let me talk, huh? Well, i was in the forrest, around the orchards, i was hiding up a tree, so that Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Applebloom wouldn't see me and i didn't come back, because everypony was here, and i didn't want to deal with a whole bunch of questioning... like i am right now." Spike finished, removing his hand. Twilight bit her lip, obviously wanting to be upset at him, but he had answered her, and, given what happened to him, she could understand why he had wanetd to be alone. "Fine, but you're still in trouble!" Twilight said. "Okay, okay... what is it?" Spike asked, wanting to just go to sleep. "You can't have any gems for a week..." she started. "Okay, can i go to bed now?" Spike interrupted. Twilight continued, annoyed: "...and you have to help Applejack buck apples for two weeks!" Spike's face was now what she had expected. She thought she would have seen a tired look, or even one of horror. Instead, she saw a small smile.

Spike was running. He looked behind him and saw a green and purpe egg flying behind him, then crack open and he was suddenly inside of it. The cracks dissapeared and he was a newborn dragon again. He heard vocies. The voices of dragons. His parents? Then he herad oen of them say: "...hide the baby..." He was suddenly picked up and hidden behind what he assumed were rocks. Then he heard loud voices, and then a boom and he saw a flash of light through the egg shell. It turned black. Then he heard a vocie that, now, he knew well. Princess Cellestia. "What happened here?" she asked. "We don't know. The best we can figure, some dragons got into a fight." responded a gruff, stallion voice. "What's this?" a younge filly's voice asked, as his egg was picked up. "That's! A dragon egg! Quickly, Luna, give that to me!" He felt himself being passed in her direction, as everything went black again. Next thing he knew, he heard some ponies telling somepony else to try and hatch his egg, using magic. 'Wait a second...' he thought '...Twilight hatched me! Is that Twilight out there?' he heard a lot of grunting sounds and then suddenyl a really, really bright light flashed and he hatched... and grew to the size of the castle... almost. Then he heard Cellestia again and he shrunk down to normal size.

Spike woke up with a start. "Spike? Are you okay?" Twilight asked him, holding him with her magic. "Twilight," he asked "who're my parents?"
